Nothing can lie of more impor tance to our Borough, and in fact to every community in Sullivan county, than a co-operation of effort in pub lic affairs and hence we regard the step forward made by our Council as the possible beginning of a new era | in our methods and possible progress, j We have the privilege of giving the Council proceedings at its last ; meeting and perhaps it may be so arranged that every subscriber to the News Item may keep posted on our municipal affairs and even of the Public School progress through its columns. It will be well if it should come to pass. At the Council meeting President Dunham was in thechair and Messrs. Little, ('. A. Brink, F. W. Peale, Kehrer, Vanßuskirk and H.J.Smith were present. The following bills were approved and ordered paid, E. S. Chase for surveying #o.Bo, JI. (J. Phillips for tax duplicate SI.OO, Kline and Co. police supplies #3.75, N. Brink police service #4.so, Edward Stevens police service #3.75, Howard Stevens care of lamps and supplies #3.03. ] For work on streets, (j. W. Smith ! 88 cents, W. Andrews #2.10, A. Ben- \ nett SB.IO, E. L. Smith $1.50. Bill of New York Belting iV Pack-1 ing Co. was laid on the table until! 110-e eouldjbe tested. A. C. [Little j called attention to the very bad con-J dition of some of the streets. The Eight committee reported that they had granted the petition of; Mr. Warner and that the three ad- j ditional street lamps had been in stalled on Lakewood Drive. There port was adopted. The Light Com. ; handed in a check from Wr. Warner for #5.00 as bis promised contribu tion toward the cost of the three lights for this season. The EireJCon unit tee reported the purchase of 500 feet of standard 2 J inch hose but had not yet met the j officers of the Water Co. in regard to the rate to be paid for the fuse ofl water for tire purposes. The report | was accepted and approved. Engineer Chase reported the Lake- \ side sewer out of order and the Sec-1 retary was directed to advise Messrs. Kirk A Son to have the same repair- j (HI. A communication was received from Mr. Kirk asking to have the weeds and Golden Itod, that makes j trouble for our Hay Fever visitors, cut so as to prevent them going to seed*and a resolution was passed making misappropriation of #in. for: that purpose. The following resolutions were presented and adopted: Whereas the Council of the Boro. of Eagles Mere believe that it should . be the policy of the Borough to seek constant improvement from year to! year by such methods as will impose! no serious burden either on individ uals, corporations or of the munici pality, and \\ liereas one method of sivuring such improvement is by the gradual I elimination of unsightly buildings, j objectionable practices, unsanitary! conditions and such similar matters! as far as it can be done without hard ship to the parties concerned, and W liereas the Land Company's Ice House is now in such a dilapitated j condition as to make a rebuilding: absolutely necessary, therefore, Resolved, that we ask the co-oper ation of the Land Co. in carrying out tin- herein defined policy to the ex-! tent of removing the old Ice House j from the One hundred feet Reserva- j tion and placing it on the property ! of the Company, and that we urge upon the Company the erection of j such a building as will be ample to. supply the wants of the community 1 , and of such a character as will be at | 1 once sightly and a credit to both the | Company and Eagles Mere. j .Resolved, that the Secretary be di-! rected to send a copy of these pre ambles and resolutions to the Pres j' ident of the Land Company and of j j the Boat Company. j, A communication was presented; asking the Council to co-operate with i the Land Co. and the Railroad Co. j' in securing improvements for the ' railroad station and the improve- ' ment of the surroundings of the Lily Pond and a committee was appoint, i j ed to confer with the Land Co. and i Railroad Co. and to report at the ' first meeting of Council. The Com mittee consists of C. A. Brink, Chair- ] man, and Messrs. E. S. Chase and I B. G. Welch. 1 '1 be writir regards these proceed, ings as marking the possibility of" p.' Ogress in a better shape than ever , before if a spirit of mutual effort is manifested by all the interests con cerned, and it is starting in at the right time in the year to take it up in the fall when "the work can be done so much more to the advan tage of every one than if it is delay ; ed until spring.
